The US and Europe are facing condemnation from China regarding their attitude towards the climate changes and emission reduction targets, as per the recent reports.
As per the words of Doha Su Wei, the Chief Negotiator of China, EU has no willingness to improve their 20% emission reduction target by 2020 when they are already very close to it. He said the target in next eight years should not be almost equal to that of now or else it will raise serious concerns.
He has similar views for the US too as he criticized Barack Obama saying they are lacking interest in dealing with the urgent subjects of the day. He said though the President did mention about it in his victory speech but is hardly doing anything to curb the dangers.
He said it is expected for the US to come back on right track as soon as possible and take significant steps towards reduction in emission of greenhouse gases.
He also asserted that developing countries are ahead of the developed countries in bringing down the adversities of climate change. "The pledges and the commitments put by the developed country parties is far below that required by science and far below than what is required by their historical responsibility", Su added.
